Yes. You can have a look at https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/Custom-access-to-new-X-server

I have two web browsers and I can start: chrome: sudo x11docker --pulseaudio --gpu --xorg -- --privileged -- chrome luakit: sudo x11docker --xorg luakit

Can you show me on this example how to start both? Can I choose position both app windows? Can I choose which web page will be opened in each browser?

Re-using X servers started by x11docker is a bit of advanced usage and needs some deeper understanding in the concept of X servers and environment variables. If you understand the basics of X, you'll be able to apply the wiki. For now you are probably better served if you run a regular desktop and use x11docker on the desktop if you want to share the same X with multiple containers.

Can I choose position both app windows?

Have a look at xdotool. (But please don't ask for support of it here, that is far out of scope of x11docker).

Can I choose which web page will be opened in each browser?

x11docker --no-entrypoint -- jess/firefox firefox www.der-postillon.com
